In _drbd_send_page() a page is checked by following code before sending it by kernel_sendpage(), (page_count(page) < 1) || PageSlab(page) If the check is true, this page won't be send by kernel_sendpage() and handled by sock_no_sendpage(). This kind of check is exactly what macro sendpage_ok() does, which is introduced into include/linux/net.h to solve a similar send page issue in nvme-tcp code. This patch uses macro sendpage_ok() to replace the open coded checks to page type and refcount in _drbd_send_page(), as a code cleanup.
